Let's get Daniel Amos off of their butts and back into the studio in 2013!

How would you like to partner with Daniel Amos to get them back into the studio to make a new album in 2013? Now is your chance!

As we all know, due to a variety of issues, Daniel Amos has not recorded a new album since 2001's "Mr Buechner's Dream." Well, it's way overdue for the band to make a new album and you can be a part of it! After many months of planning, we are launching a Kickstarter Campaign to raise enough money to to pay for studio time and the band's travel expenses to make a BRAND NEW album! An entire album of brand new music from Daniel Amos and it can only happen with your help!

If you are unfamiliar with Kickstarter, this is an all or nothing effort folks. Heres how it works. You pledge a certain amount of money to help DA. Your card is not charged unless the project is fully funded. So, if we get to September 6th and we don't have our goal - nothing happens. You keep your money and DA doesn't make an album. If we hit September 6th and we do reach our goal, your credit card is charged by Amazon and DA begins the process of making a new album. We then keep you updated on the progress and begin filling whatever "rewards" you should receive based on your pledge. If at any time you decide you'd like to pledge more, you are able to do that and your "rewards" will be updated to whatever level you pledge.

UPDATE: Since there were quite a few people out there that completely missed out or didn't hear about it fast enough to contribute...

We're opening up a few tiers once again.. with some slightly altered rewards.. just in case anyone missed out the first time. (Link No Longer Valid)

The money will still be going into the budget of the album.

This campaign begins NOW and will end on Thursday Sep 6, 7:14pm EDT

We're asking for your help not only with pledges, but to get the word out. There are enough DA fans out there that this should be easy, but if we fall short, it will most likely be because a lot of people didn't hear about this effort. Help us spread the word. Whether its on Facebook, or in email, on message boards or anywhere else - get the word out.

Lets make this happen!

Everythings ready to go, but theres something wrong between the Kickstarter account adn the Amazon account. The Amazon account says everything is verified and done.. the Kickstarter account claims that the Amazon account isn't verified yet. Didn't see it as a problem until I tried to launch...

I'm trying to get them to straighten it out and fix whatever it is.

It's not there yet, but I'm sure it will at some point tonight...which leads me to a request among the regular Forum folks.

Please, please, please...if you know someone who hasn't been here regularly but has ever been interested in DA, Eddies or Dogs, pass them a message that this is happening. Starflyer 59 blew past their set goal super-quick, and as much as I love Mr. Martin's music, I know we can hit the goal much quicker than they did.

Come on, folks. We talk up a good fanboy rhetoric, but now's the time to prove it!

Ok, folks... both amazon and kickstarter have given me the all clear. so, today is the day. i do want to wait until Im home however so I can send out an announcement at the same time. shoul be this evening around 6pm central time I would guess. stay tuned!
